Life with Archie #221
In "My Son My Son Part I," Veronica falls ill after bringing home a souvenir sculpture from vacation, leading Archie to race against time to find its stolen twin—hidden somewhere in Riverdale—before the mysterious artifact triggers a wider outbreak. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with vibrant art by Stan Goldberg (pencils and inks), this 1981 issue blends family drama and suspense in a story that’s as emotionally grounded as it is unexpectedly urgent. The cover, also by Goldberg, captures the moment’s tension with a sharp, expressive portrait of Archie’s growing concern.
